What recent reviews say

Owners consistently report dramatic behavioral turnarounds after board-and-train stays, with staff sending updates and photos throughout. Trainers teach owners the techniques to maintain progress at home, and many continue with group classes for ongoing reinforcement.

The facility serves puppies through senior dogs, handling anxiety, reactivity, and leash manners. Michael leads a team that personalizes programs; named trainers include Madison and Rebekah. Private lessons follow board stays, and discounted group classes and check-ins keep dogs on track after initial programs end.

Dogs repeatedly come home exhausted and eager to return. Staff-especially General Manager Dean and owner Larkin-treat pets as family and communicate through report cards with photos. The facility impresses on first visit with cleanliness and professionalism, and reviewers trust the supervision and size-based grouping for both daycare and week-long boarding. One reviewer raised serious concerns about overcrowding, reporting 80+ dogs in a large play area with overworked-looking staff. However, only one negative review appears in the set, and the business maintains 4.9 stars across 994 reviews. Long-term clients report consistent quality over years of visits.

Reviewers consistently experience attentive veterinary care across specialties: routine exams, physical therapy, geriatric support, and dental work. Named vets including Dr. Molly, Dr. Dave, Dr. Jodi, Dr. Jazlyn, and Dr. Charles earn repeated praise for listening, knowing their animals by name, and explaining treatment options clearly. Staff follow up after visits. Daycare and boarding customers report their dogs arrive eagerly and play happily with other dogs. Two serious complaints surface. One reviewer's cat nearly became trapped in the ceiling during boarding, managed by an inexperienced teenage employee; follow-up with an adult manager was ignored. A second reports a $200+ unauthorized charge months after their dog passed away, with no communication or explanation. Both issues point to gaps in experienced supervision and billing oversight that contradict the otherwise strong patient experience.
